Internet service requires billions in infrastructure and upkeep. The telcos that have years invested in their infrastructure are going to strong arm any new providers from ever gaining any traction.
That's not entirely true. It was new providers offering the gig internet first. They might not be nationwide but they are around. Google is one of them and definitely a company that could take over on that front if need be. They don't need to monetize the service the same way these old telecom companies do for their profit. They will prob just data mine their customer though :heh:

Google is probably one of the only companies that can afford to lay down it's own infrastructure. Laying down your own fiber optic wires throughout a city isn't cheap. Hence the reason Google internet is not available everywhere. Most new ISPs are just leasing wires/bandwidth from preexisting infrastructure. TWC, AT&T.

TWC, AT&T, and Comcast already paid their dues laying the groundwork 20-30 years ago, they are now reaping the benefits and want to continue to do so. Hence the push to end Net Neutrality.

its going to get regulated more due to harrasment laws offically but on the low its people are leaving the higher education system and leap frogging into millions as well as it makes people spend less and more informed.

look at the death of myspace where people where eating left right and center, cut out the big houses and middle man. so they sht it down in the form of facebook, which is only a liability to your life not a productive plus like mypsace was.

Impossible to control the internet.

IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL THE WHOLE THING. CONTROLLING PEOPLE WHO USE THE INTERNET IS EASIER. ALL THEY NEED TO DO TO CONTROL THE INTERNET IS HASSLE SOCCER MOMS WITH INSANE LAWSUITS AND JAIL TIME. THEN OFFER A SERVICE TO SATISFY THEM. THAT'S HOW THEY CURBED MUSIC PIRACY. WHEN THE MOVIE INDUSTRY PROVIDES AN AFFORDABLE WAY TO WATCH NEW RELEASES THE DVD MAN IS OUT OF BUSINESS TOO.

THEATERS ARE THE ONLY THING HOLDING THAT BACK.

Workarounds and alternatives will be available very fast for the non technologically challenged. From a greedy stand point it makes sense what they tryna to do.
